I mentioned it in my reply to this comment, but Simple Tab Groups is a pretty solid alternative in Firefox.

Its not quite as elegant as the built-in Chrome ones, but it does make it easy to have a bunch of groups sorted out that you can flip between.

Generally, its not that I have too many tabs as much as I have some tabs I leave open all the time and want to condense down a bit.

For example, at work I use Chrome for my main web work, and FF for my… uh… shit like this. So I have a bunch of Chrome tabs open that I know I’ll have to make changes to again in the future, so they stay open. I also have ‘projects’ which contain a bunch of pages that are all related to each other. Being able to group those together and collapse makes it easy to quickly get back into them when someone wants a small, insignificant (sorry, extremely important!) change to them that needs to be done yesterday, and I can eventually just throw the group away once the project is mostly complete and not going to be touched by human hands ever again (until a year later, when it suddenly becomes a critical problem for someone, and thus a problem for me… I’m not complaining, you’re complaining).

At home, I mainly use Firefox. I have an extension that allows me to have tab groups, but its not as nice looking as the built-in Chrome version (Simple Tab Groups, which is actually quite nice, but not as pretty as the Chrome ones). I have a group for my usual fucking around stuff (Discord, YT, Kbin, DIM (Destiny app), wiki for whatever other game I’m playing), a tab for my streaming stuff (which I don’t use often, but as I have a few container tabs for logging in to my brother’s account for a handful. I like to just leave those open so I don’t have to worry about it), and a group for my “working from home” stuff like email/OneDrive and a smaller amount of pages I always keep open because I’m always editing them for work.

So all in all, I don’t have like a hundred tabs open at any given time, and I could make due with just having them all bookmarked and open them as need be… but honestly, that’s a bit of a hassle and would also either leave me with a ton of useless bookmarks after a month or two, or require me to curate my bookmarks every month or two. Versus just having a tab group I can just kill off once I know I’m done with their work.

Looking for a pure CSS implementation of a concept?

Best I can do is an overly elaborate jquery solution to your question, sorry.

If Dark Souls had easier difficulties, they wouldn’t have the reputation they do. People would turn down the difficulty instead of learning the bosses and how to beat them.

Which is hilarious because people ‘turn down the difficulty’ constantly by using summons or ‘jolly cooperation’ all the time in the games and don’t seem to differentiate that from a difficulty option.

Superhard Games without difficulty options. Looking at you Soulsborne games; I appreciate that some people like a challenge, but I really think that whole genre would only benefit from giving the player options. I have noticed that seems to be getting more common though.

I’m torn on this… I love playing Dark Souls 1/2/3/etc for the world and the enemies and exploring and overcoming the difficulties and finding cool gear and weapons and trying out new builds.

But I also absolutely hate pretty much every single boss fight in the games.

Yeah, FFXIV makes is super convenient to revisit a place once you’ve already been there via the aetheryte, meaning you’re probably not going to visit it on foot more than a few times. This means you don’t really make that connection between zones (or at least, I didn’t) and thus don’t really view it as an interconnected world (the loading areas between each zone doesn’t really help).

I’m struggling to give proper credit to WoW because I’m not sure if its the staggering amount of time I played the game, the time of my life when I played the game (younger brain retaining knowledge better?), or the seamless transition between zones which lends it to sticking in my memory so hard as a ‘real, interconnected world’… probably a combination of the three, if we’re being honest.

• Bastion
• Castlevania (series, special mention for Symphony of the Night)
• Chrono Trigger/Cross
• Dead Cells
• Destiny 1/2
• Dragon’s Dogma (mainly Into Free, but still…)
• Final Fantasy (series, but special mention for XI and XIV)
• Persona 4/5
• Portal 1/2
• River City Girls (probably 2 as well, but still waiting on my LRG copy)
• Scott Pilgrim vs the World (the game (the soundtrack))
• Tony Hawk (series); a bit of a cop out, as they’re all licensed songs
• Zelda (series, special mention for the Cadence of Hyrule soundtrack)

And then just a lot of old, nostalgia for NES games (Duck Tales, River City Ransom, TMNT, etc) and SNES/PS1 RPGs (Lufia, Super Mario RPG, Suikoden, Thousand Arms, etc)

But that main just are the ones I either bought or downloaded because I loved the music so much.
